This is what I wore to work today. I don't show a lot of my work outfits because I think they are somewhat boring. My company has a very strict/weird dress code that does not allow for a lot of creativity, unfortunately. Putting together unique work outfits that I like, but that are still appropriate for my office is one of the biggest style challenge I have. Boooooo to corporate/business dress code!!!
I did end up liking my outfit today. J. Crew has such fabulous colors. I chose this outfit based on my new nail polish.
Top: J. Crew
Cardigan: J. Crew Jackie
Skirt: Anthropologie
Shoes: Dansko
I picked up OPI's "Honk if you love OPI" a few days ago. It is a gorgeous deep purple/grape color.
Well at least you're allowed to play with colors. I really liked the way this outfit came together. It's a perfect palette for fall. And I love that shade of nail polish! If you see my nails dark in the coming weeks, you'll know it was because of your photos.
ReplyDeleteThis is a cute work outfit! I love all the colors that you've used! Not boring at all :) than nail color is beautiful! I love dark purple on my nails!

Kristin, you look adorable and totally office-friendly! I love the pop of color from the cardigan, making me think about what other colors I'd like a Jackie Cardigan in!
ReplyDeleteLove these colors together! Very professional, very fun & chic.
ReplyDeleteOh, I love these colors together. That cardigan is just perfect with the darker blouse and skirt.
ReplyDeleteI love the color combo of this outfit! I always have a hard time finding work appropriate outfits, too. My office dress code isn't too corporate or strict, but I struggle to find the time (or energy) to be creative with my outfits in the morning!!!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, I love all those colors together!! Perfect for the upcoming fall season :)
ReplyDeleteFabulous work outfit. I love the colour combo and the textures. I hardly post my work outfits too. They are super boring most of the time!
ReplyDeleteJenn - Yes, that's true. I do love to play with colors and thankfully I can do that at my office (although the employee handbook does suggest "neutral colors such as black, gray, and brown"). Ha!
ReplyDeleteLaura - Thanks! Dark purple is one of my favorites too.
Dea- Thank you:) There are so many great colors to choose from. The Jackie is my absolute favorite cardigan (as I'm sure you can tell).
Caffeinerd - Thank you:)
Gracey- Thanks!
Kelly - Thank you! I totally understand. I always snooze until the last minute, so I run into that problem as well.
Tammy - Thanks:)
Vintageglammz - Thank you!
The combo of colors is fantastic! I love this outfit and it is perfectly office appropriate.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous outfit for work! I love the Dansko mary janes- are they a recent purchase?
ReplyDeleteI think this outfit is the perfect combination of professional and creative. The super autumnal color palette is really lovely. And J.Crew's Jackie cardigan is one of my favorite basics; I have a whole bunch in different colors, and I wear them like crazy!
ReplyDeleteTerrie - Thanks!
ReplyDeleteJess - Thank you! I definitely felt like this was a successful outfit - it made me happy and it was appropriate for work.
Loraine - Thanks:) No, these shoes are not new. I wear them (and my black pair) quite often to work. They are perfect for my trouble-making feet!
Christy - Thanks! The jackie is pretty much perfect. I have lots of different colors as well and almost always have one on at work.
I love how J Crew's brilliant colours always make interesting combinations- especially this bright olive and eggplant. yum.
ReplyDelete...and I feel you on the work dressing. I wear a riot of colours and patterns now because I spent 8 years wearing exclusively black, blue and tan, patterns forbidden. We used to wear ties just to express ourselves (I have a lot of wild ties now!)
Love the color combo of this - especially the splash of bright with the cardigan.
